iPhone Day!
Can you stand it? Oh my god, it's iPhone HYSTERIA day. I flipped around cable this morning before heading into the office and it was being fondled by numerous television news outlets. You just can't buy hype like this. Or maybe you can. Anyway, for those who can't unshackle themselves from their jobs or wait in line at a local...Continue

April 26, 2004HellBender
One of my all time favorite Unreal Tournament character mods has been updated for Unreal Tournament 2004 -- Bender from Futurama. Not only does he bust apart like coffee cans on a string when taking fire, but his chest cavity opens to reveal four bottles of brew, and he's got an arsenal of vocal taunts to drive your competition mad....Continue
February 22, 2003How Big Was It?
A MSNBC anchor, Saturday morning, teasing a post-commercial story: "A small earthquake shakes Southern California. After the break, we'll tell you how big it was." Was it...small?...Continue
February 18, 2003What it is Saddam? Right On!
The sad, and rather scary part about all this is that now the United States is in one hell of a pickle. Most watchers believed the other members of the Security Council would eventually come around to the United States' position, especially after Saddam continued to avert the resolution (a practice he has employed for over a decade). But that...Continue
February 15, 2003Yo! Plushie Hip-Hop!
It must be something about my sense of humor, but I literally teared up with laughter watching this. (thanks BoingBoing for the link)...Continue
October 24, 2002Eric Myer: Stereotypes
I was going to post this in my "Enjoying" side bar, but I'm loving this way, way too much not to make it a mainline post. Check out the beguiling Stereotypes by Eric Myer Photography. I may not sleep tonight....Continue
October 19, 2002Little Timmy Goes to Hell
My brother sent me links to some truly bizarre, utterly hilarious Christian comics, including a supposed Halloween story where a young boy named Timmy goes to Hell, and another starring Bad Bob, a grissly biker type who changes his ways after his cell mate burns to death in a unexplained fire and ends up, you guessed it, in Hell! I...Continue
August 26, 2002Can You Spot the Mistake?
So I was reading this NY Times article yesterday, when one particular paragraph sent my normally cloudy, Sunday morning brain into fits of syntax error. Find the mathematical Waldo: Still, the ratings systems have enthusiastic supporters. Henry Hill, 85, of Coral Gables, Fla., is a private investor who says he has used Value Line's system to beat the market. Mr....Continue
June 26, 2002Man Smashes PC with Sledgehammer in Gateway Country Store
Imagine the scene. You're a Gateway Country Store employee, hawking third rate Wintel boxes to unsuspecting customers, when a Mr. Gary Wilke walks in the door, sets his daughter's dysfunctional cow box on the lobby floor, pulls out a sledgehammer, and smashes the machine to bits. Wonder if his problems were really with the hardware, or if he should have...Continue
June 19, 2002Millennium Falcon
This guy makes your average Star Wars fanatic look like a chump. Imagine, a life-size Millenium Falcon, propped up on cinder blocks in your own backyard. Yeah, that'll impress the ladies. (7 minute RealVideo documentary included)....Continue
April 05, 2002Designer's Best Friend
You a designer? Got a pet? Well jump in folks, 'cause orcagirl.com is posting pictures of designers' pets. Are they smarter animals than most, or more accustomed to the smell of coffee, watching a pointer race around the screen, and laying across the space bar at just the right moment? Whatever they think about what we do, they love us....Continue
February 06, 2002Tell Me About Your Codpiece, Gene
What can I say. As someone who used to be very involved with public radio, I take particular personal pleasure out of reading that KISS frontman Gene Simmons got into an on-air tussle with Terry Gross of NPR's gushy, blushy, and just plain slushy "Fresh Air." Fresh air, indeed....Continue
January 16, 2002It's a Shame About Ray
Like any other graphic designer out there, I've had my fair share of emberassing goofs. But this one takes the cake. You couldn't pay me to be in that person's shoes right now....Continue
Creed
Oh come on, that's not really the album cover for Creed's latest Pearl-Jam Kinkos fest, is it? Really? Oh my goodness. It looks like a CD-R from some punk kids in South Florida with a kracked copy of Photoshop. Wait a second......Continue
December 27, 2001Google Zeitgeist
Just think about this for a second. There's this little white box, floating out there on the internet, that millions of people type words, names, places, and even URL's into, seeking information. Maybe they want to buy something. Maybe they're looking for a relative, an ex-lover, a recipe... Yes, it's ubiquitous search engine. But stitch together a list of the...Continue
December 24, 2001Did You Say France?
Forget Iraq. According to ultra right-wing commentator Ann Coulter, we've got to attack France next. I'd love to hear what Dean Allen would have to say on this one....Continue

I'm not one to condone vandalism, but hey, this just makes my day....Continue
October 26, 2001Engrish
If you got a chuckle out of "All Your Base Are Belong To Us," be sure to check out Japanese Engrish -- a collection of Japanese consumer goods found in convenience stores and supermarkets with poor, and often hilarious, English translations....Continue
October 22, 2001Come Get Some!
Of all the things I've seen auctioned on ebay, from tacky Elian Gonzalez watercolors to pieces of the World Trade Center, none, and I mean none, have surprised me more than this. Bidding is closed, and the "item" was removed, but not before four poor fools signed up to feel the wrath of Mr. Hail Brak. Lord have mercy....Continue
